    No accountability after 13 seconds. A funk after the GB last year, then getting throttled by Cinci in the playoffs.

     

    After the London game with the Bills losing Milano & Jones on top of losing White vs. Miami, the very first thing I said was we needed to go all gas and just outscore everyone even if it meant a high-scoring shootout.

     

    This team, and specifically the way Allen is wired, does SO much better up-tempo/no-huddle. We are an unstoppable wagon. Then we go conservative, predictable, and easy to defend, and lose all momentum.

     

    "Let's stop doing what's working and switch to something with "more balance" - which stalls us and puts more pressure on an already depleted defense.

     

    The $90m question is who is pulling the strings on blowing up our fast-break offense? Why would an OC do that? There's your answer.

     

    Would McDermott rather lose 24-18 vs. 45-42 because the latter would expose his defense and his ego as a defensive mind?

     

    Is Pegula that detached/ineffective to not see/hear what is going on? There is a rotten elephant in the room that no one wants to own up to.

     

     

    You get it...boggles my mind how anyone can point anywhere other than McDermott for our shortcomings at this point...he was needed in the beginning but now he is actually hurting this team

    We can complain about McDermott all we want and come up with reasons he should be fired.

     

    It isn't going to happen.

     

    He just got an extension this Offseason. He and Beane are tight. We went from the laughing stock of the league to a perennial contender under this regime.

     

    If you think Beane is going to fire him after one bad season where we had our Defense decimated or that Pegula is going to step in and reset the team back to what it was when he came in, you're kidding yourself.

     

    If anything is going to happen, Dorsey will take the fall and they'll find a new OC. It's going to take more than one year of missing the Playoffs. McDermott will have to lose the team, chief among them Josh, and have at least 2 bad years in a row before anything happens.

    I truly think bean answers to MCDERMOTT honestly

    This is the same coach that thought Petermann was an NFL caliber starting QB.  I'm convinced he doesn't know a thing about QB's.

     

    He doesn't know anything about OFFENSE in general....he wants an old school grind it out clock eating offense to hide the flaws of his over-rated 4-5-2 soft zone scheme

    Allen has had some of the same flaws for 6 years... They aren't magically now just coming out because of conservative coaching

     

    Daboll was super aggressive starting games with 15 plus throws... but some of Josh's flaws still would come out

     

    Because he never got to correct them fully.. you can't correct them in live game situations

     

     

    Allen showed he is good enough flaws and all to win a superbowl as other qbs with worse stats and flaws themselves have won it all...McDermott showed us he is capable of stealing that superbowl chance away from our QB in 13 s flat

    I disagree we are witnessing Allen's flaws be exposed by his conservative HC putting him in a system that predisposes him to his flaws......it's like McDermott thought of a perfect system to expose his quarterback and installed it...I'm truly boggled how an NFL HC would force the best dual threat QB in the nfl and possibly EVER into a conservative ball control pocket passer system

    You could literally pick out the flaws of any qb if you place them into a system that is against their skill sets

    I don't think I ever said it was Allens fault... He's literally one of the three best players in the world.. not even counting position

     

    He's a superstar

     

    But he could and probably would be better if he even sat his rookie year... It did nothing but good for Patrick mahomes Aaron Rodgers and every single other talented quarterback that learns from the sideline

    I think we are very close to a breaking point with McDermott and Josh.  I feel one of the 2 is going to tell Terry "if he is still here, I won't be"

     

    They are oil and water in what they want in an offense and it's causing more harm than good.  

    Under no circumstances do you choose McDermott in that case...I don't think any owner would pick an average HC over a potential HOF talent franchise QB..McDermott doesn't fill the stadium and sell merchandise lol

    People don't realize that as much as you can make a quarterback.. you can ruin a quarterback

     

    Josh in my opinion coming from the mountain West needed a full year on the bench and seasoning... That year on the bench can coach out flaws that you have

     

    Getting thrown in the fire is sink or swim... Yes Josh swam.. but he also didn't get to work on the flaws he had as a quarterback

     

    Some of those flaws still come around today... Literally 20 plus weeks on the bench could correct that

     

    So yeah I would have seen a two and fourteen season with Josh on the bench because he probably would even be better... Every quarterback should sit it's that tough

     

    Quarterbacks getting thrown to the fire is why they don't succeed

     

    First round picks used to sit 20 back in the day 

    This isn't Allen's fault.....take Tom Brady and put him in an rpo system and you could pick apart his game also...Allen is being forced to play in an offense that is in direct conflict to his strengths as a qb

    At the risk of sounding like a loon is there a possibility that McD benches Allen?  Hear me out here:  McD could approach Bean and argue that Allen's shoulder needs to heal fully so why not sit him for a couple of weeks. 

     

    Remember McD is the man who benched Tyrod to go with the worst QB who has ever started a game in the NFL.  Peterman threw FIVE INT's in the first half, an NFL record.  McD then double downed on that decision and declared Peterman the starter over Allen the next year only to see Peterman set another NFL record for bad QB play - 9 straight possessions without getting a 1st down.  Then McD was forced to throw Allen to the wolves the next week and start him against a very good Charger D.  And don't forget that because of McD's infatuation with the worst QB to ever start an NFL game Allen missed taking most of the 1st team reps in Training Camp & the preseason games.

     

    McD doesn't have a clue about QB's and I wouldn't put it past him to try to pull off a stunt like this.

     

     

    I'm more concerned about finding a possibility to Bench McDermott or atleast put him on a leash (handcuff him not allen)

    I don't buy this McD doesn't want a high power offense. Was he not in Carolina with Newton and one of the best offenses that year? Also, I've never once heard McDermott say he wants to be more conservative. I think if anything, McD is probably somewhat responsible for trying to make Josh more of a pocket passer, but I just don't buy that McDermott wants a jauron style offense. 

    McDermott had 0 input on the panthers offense lol....just bc panthers had a great offense a few years while McDermott was on the staff means nothing to how McDermott prefers an offense be ran

    Just basic ***** logic, it's one of the top 4 non player positions on the team, hell top 3 since McDermott is also the acting DC. There's no way ownership is going to want that position pulled without input/consultation.

    Pegula isn't even a football guy....he is and has been a hands off owner..he literally bought the Bills for his wife lol....nah McDermott can fire any coordinator he wants to bro

    He'd still need the okay from ownership to fire someone at the level of an Offensive Coordinator.

    And you know that how? ..um usually HCs have full control over who they hire and fire as far as coordinators ....but that's besides the point...McDermott doesn't want to fire any of his hand picked "YES" men....he can and does control everyone on this staff including his GM whom he brought over from Carolina lol...why do you think it's been so uneven with top draft picks and FA going to the defense side of the ball....McDermott gives bean his shopping list and bean goes and gets McDermott wishes

  9. Why is it so hard to believe that Allen is in a foreign offense that is 100% aligned to the polar opposite of what Allen's skill sets are? We have essentially taken everything allen is good at and scraped it and installed an offense that asks allen to relearn his entire style of play to fit what our stubborn controlling conservative HC envisions....mcd wants an offense designed for a player like Brad Johnson or Trent Dilfer 😆

    And how many times has this answer been given to McDermott throughout the season?  Because this movie has been played way too many times throughout the season. Either way it is inexcusable on both their parts regardless. 

    Gotta love the fans who still remain steadfast in their support of McDermott and even when faced with the truth,double down and defend him even more lol....McDermott is Bills Mafias David Koresh 😆

    The hire made all the sense in the world. Obviously it failed. Hopefully McD does the right thing and terminates him. 


    Yes the giants are a model organization huh

    Giants are a mess but Dabol is better than any coach we have on our staff

    So many have it wrong in this thread...you guys realize that McD is giving you DORSEY's answer to why they didn't run the uptempo right?  

     

    All this anger at McD over the answer is totally misguided.  Now if you want to be mad at McD for not yet firing Dorsey, then that is fair game.  But this answer everyone is so upset about is the answer Dorsey gave McD after they met and reviewed the game.  

     

    FIRE DORSEY

     

     

    Lmao McDermott wants the offense to be conservative and slow and methodical and eat clock..dorsey is just calling the plays that align to McDermott wishes pal

    “lOoK AT ouR pREVioUs cOaChes mAN. NOt woRTH THe RiSk.”

     

    Let’s address this coward mentality. Conservative mentality. No dog mentality. The soft mentality the Buffalo media has accepted along with some fans here.

     

    Bills previous head coaches in the 2000’s and their QB’s up until McClappy was hired.

     

    Wade- Flutie and Johnson

    Williams- Johnson and Bledsoe

    Mularkey- Bledsoe

    Jauron- Losman and Checkdown Edwards

    Gailey- Fitz

    Marrone- Manuel and Orton

    Rex- Tee Rod

    McClap- Tee Rod and Allen

     

    You notice something? Yeah, all of the prior coaches had horrible QB’s and lost here. Shocker!


    Myth: “He (McClap) changed the culture 

    Fact: We had a negative point differential and a soft schedule in 2017 when the drought was broken. He punted in OT against Indy and was playing for the tie. A fumble led to a win. Also, a guy named Andy Dalton threw a pass that was nothing short of a miracle to get us in. The following season we stunk and got lucky to land Allen. Ever since, the clown coach has hid behind his star QB. Look at the terrible losses over the years. At JAX, at NE, ran over by Jonathan Taylor, Houston playoff meltdown, curb stomped by Cincy last playoffs…

     

    Myth: “Let’s fire Dorsey. It’s his fault.”

    Fact:  Last year it was fire Frazier. It’s his fault. Leslie got the blame. Now, some of you are falling right into the same trap this Czar is going to spew at years end. Reality is if we hire a bright offensive mind who flourishes here, that guy is now gone in 2 years or less and we are stuck doing the same thing over. O, and even a great OC can’t cover up your clown HC horrible in game decision making. Your OC can’t cover up the obsession with defensive picks and big money to that side of the ball. Your OC can’t cover up the conservative scared coaching approaches like punting before half or kicking field goals down 2 scores. YOUR OC CANT COVER UP 13 SECONDS.

     

    In conclusion, I’m sick and freakin tired of the scared Buffalo media who won’t call this guy out. Guys like Adam Schein and Ross Tucker don’t hesitate to address the incompetence of McClap. Last comments…

     

    Jerry Kraus told Doug Collins to hit the bricks and promoted a guy named Phil Jackson to get the Bulls over the hump led by a guy named Michael Jordan. Did it work? 6 rings boss.

     

    Warriors told Mark Jackson to hit the bricks and hired a guy named Steve Kerr. Did it work? 4 rings.

     

    Brass Balls Howie Roseman told his SUPER BOWL WINNING COACH DOUG PEDERSON YOU’RE FIRED PAL TWO YEARS POST LOMBARDI! Did it work? Eagles #1 team in the league. Super Bowl appearance last year. Humming on offense. Sirriani aggressive coach who could coach circles around McClap. Incredible offensive line. Weapons galore. Has made Jalen Hurts into an MVP.



    You guys want to sit back and take this crap? Be my guest. I’ve pounded the table for 3 years to get this bozo out of WNY. Now, some are finally thinking I’m not crazy. You’re seeing it in front of your eyes folks. We are wasting a Hall of Fame QB. We are wasting time. We are wasting our best chance ever to win a Super Bowl title. To get this dark cloud over with. To bring a trophy home to WNY. For Bills Mafia across the world. How can we better our chances? Simple…

     


    Terry, please God do the right thing and FIRE SEAN MCDERMOTT.

     

     

     

    You described everything to perfection..100% spot on!

    This piece by Joe B seems to indicate that a change could actually be coming soon. He leans hard into everyone turning against Dorsey, from the players to McDermott. 
     

    ‘And following the end of the game, there seemed to be a rather interesting shift in how things have sounded.

     

    The subtle messages are becoming less so. The frustration and exasperation is growing, and the words used have become tougher. After a great start to the game, in which the Bills averaged 12.1 yards per play on their opening drive, that dynamic offense went missing in action. They gained only 158 yards over their next eight drives, and watched as the Bengals slowly pulled away.

    “That can’t happen,” coach Sean McDermott firmly said of the offensive inconsistency. “Against a good football team that’s known for scoring points, and a good quarterback. We’ve got to be able to score points, and we didn’t do it enough.”

    McDermott has made some subtle comments like that since the London game. Even after their somewhat of a resurgence in Week 8 against the Buccaneers, McDermott raised some eyebrows when he said that every play “wasn’t an adventure.” But the subtleties are becoming less so.

    While the Bills found success going up-tempo the week before, they inexcusably went away from it until it was effectively too late in the game. Why didn’t they use it?

    “I don’t have a good answer for you right now,” McDermott said. “I’ve got to look into that.”

    There appears to be a lot more looking into things than usual, and it makes you wonder what’s next for the Bills. … It all leads to one point. The Bills might have arrived at where a big change is necessary before the season gets away from them. And with the offense flailing and seemingly out of answers, the time may be now for the Bills to change directions at offensive coordinator.


    [Next section is on Allen’s clear postgame exasperation and his subtle digs at the play-calling and game plan.]

     

    Why are these pieces of information important? Allen has been the loudest supporter of Dorsey, even in the face of criticism. But if Allen is out of answers and possibly losing confidence in Dorsey himself, then there may be no better reason to make a change than that one. After all, Allen is the straw that stirs the drink.

    Under Dorsey, the Bills have been utterly predictable and lacked the creativity that had been a staple with Brian Daboll. … The time for waiting to allow things to iron themselves out, or giving Dorsey enough time to find his footing as an offensive coordinator is quickly coming to a close. He now has 26 games under his belt calling plays, and is seemingly in the same evolutionary spot as he was to begin his career as an offensive coordinator. If there is no growth, and the offense is stagnating, a shake-up may be required.

    With a Monday night game on the horizon, the Bills have an extra day to prepare should they make a change, and with a plum opponent in a below-average Broncos defense to get them the confidence they need heading into a brutal stretch of games. They have coaches on staff with the experience to take over if need be, but it all comes down to their choice.’

     

    Lots of other comments in the piece too.

     

     

     

    McDermott loves throwing blame every where but on himself...this entire team is in mcdummys vision and I wouldn't be surprised that he made the call to tone down the high flying offense and convert it into a more conservative ball control offense bc he wants his rotation dline as rested as possible for the 4th quarter when they allow 5 for 5 on 3rd downs and never get the ball back lol

    McDermott is coaching the defense scared right now. It’s going to be a bend and sometimes break defense the rest of the season.


    Offense better get going or we’re looking at a top 10 pick. 
     

    I’ve always said you are what you’re record is but they deserve to be 4-5 right now with the hard part of the schedule coming up.

     

    Lol McDermott entire scheme is based on being scared.

    Scared of the big play so you are content to watch EVERY last good offense control the time of possession and pace of the game....it's like a cat playing with a mouse when it comes to good qbs and good offenses...they may let you feel you have a shot until it gets time and then down the hatch and the mouse (McDermott defense) is swallowed whole lol

    In my eyes, you can do one of three things:

     

    1) Ride them out, be mediocre because you don't have any cap space to work with, pray to God you get some kind of production out of them

    2) Burn them all after this season, eat the same cap ***** sandwich and emerge in a much healthier place in 2025

    3) Cut two of three of them, triage-style, still eat the cap ***** sandwich and be better off in 2025

     

    Are there any other options out there? I'm happy to hear them.

     

    Best to eat the dead cap and cut them all....start over with an entire new staff and have a down year next year while the new staff further feels the needs of the team out..2025 we will be mostly out of cap hell and should have a top 10 pick for the new regime to build the team AROUND ALLEN with...Give allen a chance for the 2nd half of his career

  16. 38 minutes ago, pocoboy said:

     

    That has seemed to be indicated from the media types who have spoken of the dynamic. McDermott ought to have some leash to figure this out, and hopefully he would consult Beane on ways to "fix" the offense (including play-calling duty changes or outright personnel moves). There's also a case to be made for stability, but it seems that particular approach has run its course. Sure they might beat a Denver team at home, but I could also envision a scenario where that entire stadium starts chanting for an ouster.

    McDermott is done here..whether you want to believe it or not...he has systematically ruined this team and is in way over his head....stay loyal to McDermott at the expense of allen
